121 Free Facebook Application Hosting According to an online writer Nick O’ Neill, providers of free web hosting have been available for more than a decade already. He explained that most of these providers take charge of the cost through advertising revenue. Concerning to this, writer Om Malik also published an article pertaining to the new offering of Joyent to Facebook developers. So, Joyent is expected to give developers a free Facebook application hosting solutions anytime soon. This means a lot of things to Joyent since they present scalable solutions, which is capable to host even the toughest Facebook applications. However, O’ Neill said that he has also received an e-mail from another hosting provider that is also offering the same solution. According to him, this hosting provider offers a Free Application of Unmetered Hosting that will essentially serve as a promotion to its own hosting site: FreeUnmeteredHost.com. But O’ Neill clarified that this company does not present the same type of scalable outmoded hosting solutions similar to what Joyent presents. He explained that the mainstream of Facebook applica- tions are not actually required to advance to the solutions of premium hosting provided that there are a small number of applications that have a large number of users. In fact, O’ Neill mentioned that there are only four applications featured on Facebook that have more than one million daily users and there are 91 applications that have more than one million overall installs. And as the platform widens, these numbers are also expected to decrease. So, O’ Neill said that Joyent appears to be the most practical choice for those who are planning to launch their own application in the next months. 122 Facebook Application Developers: The Money-Generating Instruments If you want to fell in love with your Facebook application, you better get the service of Facebook application developers.
